Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Yes I had same thought. Had it in cart but did not pull the trigger. Have Tool 2.0 already and it is fine. Just wish I had the mag tail for it.

I don’t see a discount on the E05 using the posted coupon? Am I doing something wrong? Could someone please post a link to the one the coupon is for, thanks. Probably too late as this was a Lightning Sale, no?

I found a great way to make use of vipon coupons, and it is to not search based on an specific item but price, which are otherwise simply not found on amazon.

As many of you already know most stuff on vipon are rebranded from other existing items, a lot of them with really weird Chinese-made up English words, such as “KEOYSUNG”, “Aosgya”, “clecobyz”, but at the end they are built by the same factory or with the same materials as the ones with prittier brand name and more reviews. The other day I was looking for a car charger with power delivery and did not want to spend $20 on a highly reviewed one, so I got into the vipon app and there was a charger identical to a brand name one for just $5 bucks. When it came it actually was the brand name product. I also scored a 65” aluminum tripod for $25 when these usually run for $45+, decent quality desktop flush mount power strip for $10, Ipad cases that were even cheaper than eBay shipped from China, and a lot more deals, all with amazon prime shipping.

If you’re not looking for a product with a specific brand, jump to vipon first and you’ll be surprised of the deals you’ll find. I’m not sure why some of these deals exists, but there are items that with the coupon end up being almost just $1 and they ship with prime. There can’t be any profit at all…

The only thing I caution about buying “it’s made in the same factory but not a brand name”….it could be the product that didn’t pass inspection.

There are companies who make both, with the same standards, but there are also companies that sell their seconds at cheaper prices rather than scrapping them.

Buyer beware…

I just retried the code and it says code not valid. Deal is gone.

Yep, the code was working before, it made the E05 $25. It was $20 on Vipon some time ago, and considering the Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 was $9 recently I skipped on another E05.

Yeah, I passed on the E05 too. I got plenty of those back when they were under $20. Seems like they even got down to $16.99 IIRC??

Anyway, I did get a few Tool AA 2.0’s @ $9. That was to goo to pass up. :wink:

I search vipon.com for "flashlight" daily.

It seems the site has gone full retard since yesterday.

Yep, no matter what you search for it pulls the same stuff up. you have to look through everything.

I know it's not politically correct, but I love this movie quote:

I just get nothing. Keeps pinwheeling, but zero results.

They really f’ed up their “upgraded website” something fierce.

UPDATE:

Vipon search now works like it should.

Tool 2.0 is on Lightning Deal again… $15.29

Lumintop Tool 2.0

A Nitecore EC4GT knockoff ???

It actually looks quite decent, and for $18 with batteries included it isn’t a bad deal. However multiple reviews said the light is more on the 500-600 lumen range.

Yeah, I know, and usual Amazon price is north of 30.

yeah, I got one:

It does much better now... I paid the $18 deal on it, borderline worth it for modding...

You have more patience than I TomE. I passed it on to the neighbor kid. Figured he couldn’t get into too much trouble with it. Of course he thinks it’s as bright as the sun.

You say you “know it’s not politically correct”, but you post it anyway. That defies logic.

Not only it is not “politically correct”. It is not correct on many levels, politically correct being the least of them. It is cruel & demeaning to those with mental handicaps & deficiencies.

It is offensive to many of us who know, have family, or work with, people who have mental handicaps and deficiencies. It is also offensive to masses of people who just truly care about other people.

The words written were bad enough, but the picture was even worse to me. I left it in the quote but minimized it to a tiny speck. I also crossed through the offending written word.

Probably you just thought this was being funny. I hope before you post something like this again you will first consider the possible impact it might well have on others, as well as what it might well say about you for posting it.

The movie Tropic Thunder (2008) is hilarious.

It's an R-rated comedy.

If you like politically-incorrect R-rated comedies, you'll like this movie.

Get over yourself.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Just because something is politically-incorrect, that doesn't mean it's against BLF rules and I cannot post it.

By the way, you don't need to explain to my why the word retard is politically-incorrect...

I know quite well.

I just think that political correctness has been taken too far, and I don't think the word is offensive in the context that I used it.
